David William Casey

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our husband, father and brother, David William Casey, passed away early Sunday, January 10, 2021 in Palm Desert, California. He is survived by his wife, Priscilla Kraetzer, three children (Keller Casey {Denver, Colorado}, Alexis Casey {Herzogenaurach, Germany} and Kieran Casey {San Jose, California}), his sister (Glenda Schwartz {Toledo, Ohio}), and four spunky grandchildren (Graham, Hayden, Case and Maeve), as well as, a host of other family and dear friends. David Casey was born October 19, 1944 in Boca Raton, Florida in the middle of a hurricane to Sam and Mary Lue Casey. He grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas and later moved to Wichita, Kansas. He attended Carleton College (Northfield, Minnesota, Class of 1966), the University of Washington (Seattle, M.S. Mathematics), and the University of Toledo College of Law (Ohio, J.D.). After school, he lived in California where he taught law at Western State Law School (Fullerton), and where he met his wife, Priscilla, who was also a professor at the school. He later taught Math at Citrus Community College (Glendora). He retired in 2013 to a beautiful spot on the banks of the Clackamas River in Eagle Creek, Oregon. He was a loving husband, devoted father, proud Opa (grandfather), math geek, avid reader, prolific traveler, keen motorcyclist, and erstwhile amatuer pilot. He lived a wonderful life and will be greatly missed.
